Industry transforms knowledge into innovation

"Our society faces multiple complex and immediate challenges that impact a citizen’s quality of life: from climate change and mobility to urbanisation and an ageing population. Research and innovation by industry play a decisive role in anticipating and responding to these challenges", Markus J. Beyrer said at the Industrial Innovation Information Days in Brussels on 3-4 October 2017. Commenting on the EU policy landscape, he added: "Beyond H2020, a successful programme, the EU should speed up implementation of the innovation principle to make regulation fit-for-innovation".
